Sex
Rx: Hormones, Health, and Your Best Sex Everby Lauren Streicher

For millions
of women in America, sex isn't always pleasurable or even possible.
Instead, sex has become a low priority as they navigate marriage,
motherhood, and work, not to mention cope with chronic stress
and lack of sleep. Throw in the natural fluctuations in hormone
levels that all women experience throughout their lives and it's
not surprising that sex can become, well, a little less sexy.
Additionally, common gynecological problems can make sex uncomfortable,
and medical issues can cause it to be downright painful. Dr. Lauren
Streicher, a leading women's sexual health expert, offers women
the courage, vocabulary, and knowledge to identify and solve problems
in the bedroom, for a wide range of issues—from flagging libido,
vaginal dryness, and sex after menopause, to hormone supplements
and the effects of medication. Sex Rx offers a wealth of knowledge
along with a good dose of humor and plenty of encouragement, so
that women of all ages can make having great sex a part of their
lives forever.

America's
War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and Liberty (Sex, Love, and
Psychology)by Marty Klein

Our government
and the Religious Right are successfully censoring what you read,
hear, and see; limiting your access to contraception; legislating
good moral values; and brainwashing your kids that God hates premarital
sex. The Right has politicized private life, expanding the zone
of public sexuality. This guarantees policies that will worsen
social problems and increase personal anxiety, providing proof
that sexuality is fundamentally negative—so citizens demand more
sex-negative policies. With examples ripped from today's headlines,
with brutal honesty and a wicked sense of humor, Marty Klein names
names, challenges political hypocrisy, and shows the financial
connections between government and conservative religious groups
that are systematically taking away your rights. And, in the process,
changing American society—forever.

The
Government Vs. Erotica: The Siege of Adam & Eveby Philip D. Harvey

In 1986, a
small mail-order company was invaded by 37 armed law enforcement
agents who instantly shut down all operations, herded the employees
into a warehouse, and then systematically interrogated everyone,
allowing them to leave only after subpoenas were distributed.
Although this episode may sound like a police action in the former
East Germany, in fact it was implemented by the U.S. Justice Department,
then headed by Edwin Meese, against Adam & Eve, a North Carolina
business that sells contraceptives, sex toys, and adult videos.
Owner Phil Harvey's first-hand account of this David-and-Goliath
battle goes to the heart of our national debate over First Amendment
freedom of expression versus government attempts to limit the
availability of erotic materials.

Perversion
for Profit: The Politics of Pornography and the Rise of the New
Rightby Whitney Strub

While America
is not alone in its ambivalence toward sex and its depictions,
the preferences of the nation swing sharply between toleration
and censure. This pattern has grown even more pronounced since
the 1960s, with the emergence of the New Right and its attack
on the "floodtide of filth" that was supposedly sweeping the nation.
Antipornography campaigns became the New Right's political capital
in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for the "family values" agenda
that shifted the country to the right.
